Bus driver suffers shooting threat and racial abuse

The man warned the driver that he was going to get a shotgun and shoot him, and made a ‘shooting-type gesture’ when he got off the bus, the Magistrate’s Court heard.

The court was told that the defendant was a regular user of the route and that the driver knew where he lived.

Centenier Amanda Wright said that the driver told the accused that he could not stop outside because it was not safe.

It was at that point that the defendant became angry and made the threats to kill and shouted the racist abuse.
